Posted: Sat Sep 15, 2007 11:02 pm Post subject: Atheros 5005G and MadWifi problem [SOLVED]

Hello everyone!

I've got a problem with my wifi card. I've emerged madwifi-ng and madwifi-ng tools. When I try to do this:

Code:

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta

I get:

Code:

wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device

That's my lspci:

Code:

lspci | grep Atheros
05:07.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

That's lsmod:

Code:

lsmod
Module Size Used by
ath_pci 77808 0
wlan 161480 1 ath_pci
ath_hal 216048 1 ath_pci
nvidia 8108536 28
i2c_core 23296 1 nvidia

ifconfig:

Code:

Any ideas? I've been googling for hours... Without any effects :evil:

Paste the output of dmesg. Also make sure you actually loaded the module..

So I have followed these steps:

Quote:

Then, if you still want to use it, you must reload ath_pci manually, for ath_rate_sample is loaded after ath_pci, but the former didn’t know it, and it can’t specify ath_rate_sample as its depend modules for this can be specify when it was loading.

Code:

4 modprobe -r ath_pci
5 modprobe -r wlan_tkip
6 modprobe -r wlan_scan_sta
7 modprobe -r ath_rate_sample
8
9 modprobe ath_rate_sample
10 modprobe wlan_scan_sta
11 modprobe wlan_tkip
12 modprobe ath_pci

And the result is:

Code:

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error

dmesg:

Code:

EDIT:
Done! I've just written:

Code:

localhost bartull # wlanconfig ath0 destroy
localhost bartull # wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
ath0

It works! Thanks a lot! Hope it helps you, PieRow :wink:

Well it's helped a little bit

So cheers burtull but I am still having issues :/

iwconfig is giving me a strange compatibility error:

Code:

lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

sit0 no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions.

Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

ath0 IEEE 802.11b ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Channel:0 Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:0 dBm Sensitivity=1/1
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Power Management:off
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=-256 dBm Noise level=-256 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

Also ifconfig does not show ath0 unless I have it as an argument though I think this is because I haven't set a static IP for the wireless NIC:
ifconfig ath0

Code:

ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:E0:88:30:B0
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

Is the error displayed under iwconfig something to do with my kernel version?

By not trying to create an existing interface. By default you get the ath0 interface, mode station, so don't bother creating it manually.

Ignore it. Harmless.

This is because the interface is not up.
